Semi trucks are getting bigger and bigger. They often have cars backing up at intersections to allow them to make turns. STOP the roundabout scheduled to be built in 2013 at Ellsworth and State. The huge semis won't be able to get around it.

I hate to say this but even the buses are getting bigger too. Glad there was no boom today.

You are wrong.
I don't think there have been any laws to increase the length or girth of semi trucks in at least 15, probably more years.
The roundabouts are built with the semis in mind. For example the one at Nixon and Huron Parkway has ample area in the median that is generally not considered the road but is designed such that trucks with trailers can go up on it to use for making the curve.

Love the Halloween themed orange traffic &quot;cone&quot; in the picture.
